Wedding guest dress

[NeedAFuturePlan]

I’m going to a wedding (in a couple of weeks) in Scotland and am still looking for a dress. It’s been a long time since I went to a wedding!

I have 2 dresses, photos attached, but also like this one:

Me&Em but not sure if it’s weddingy enough.

I’m 5’10, size 10/12. Thanks!

Or maybe this in the green or polka dot…

Nobody’s Child

I think the polka dot is the best. The blue & white one is too white and a bit casual. What sort of wedding is it? If there's a ceilidh then the polka dots might be too straight to dance in.

@MiddleAgedDread my daughter would say the blue/cream one is too white!

What do you think to the Me&Em polka dot one? That’s not so straight… no ceilidh though. Thanks 😊

the polka dots is definitely the best of the 3 and you could dress it up

A lot depends on where the wedding is and what accessories you have/plan on. I wouldn’t say any of them are very weddingy but with the right accessories either of the spotty dresses could be.

What's the first one like? I can't really see it. Is it brown? What fabric? I think it's my favourite of the options but I'd need to see a better picture. The Me & Em one is a lot of money for a fairly non-descript dress IMO. The blue/cream one is quite white and too summery for October.

I don't know what you think is 'weddingy enough', IME you don't need to wear a fascinator or heels etc to look formal enough, but it would be nice to go a bit more glam than those options.

The first is black so a bit funeral esque! White is too casual. Dotty one is great

@owlpassport the first one is a plum colour and a jersey fabric.

Agree the Me&Em is funeralesque/bit dull for the money and also that I don’t want a fascinator etc.

I like the blue and white best. Due to the pattern it's not too white and i don't believe black is appropriate for a wedding.

First one too dull on colour. Second one too white and casual.
I LOVE the spotty one, that’s my kind of dress !

The ruffle dress. The long black one is too somber and looks like you are going to a funeral. The blue and white… it’s not too white but maybe a bit casual. The me+em dress not special enough. But the ruffle dress fits the bill!

I’m think the first one is dire and suitable for a funeral The blue and white one looks too summery for a wedding in October in Scotland. I do like the third polka dot one very much but again, very sombre for a wedding. Green ruffle one is probably the best of the bunch but I imagine you could do better, particularly given your figure and height.

I like the blue and cream one best. I think it's lovely, and entirely appropriate for an October wedding. It looks easy to dress up with nice accessories, and the long sleeves will keep you warm if it's getting a bit chilly by then.

Thanks everyone - I’ve ordered the navy polka dot dress as it seemed to be the most popular 😊 Hope it fits 🤞

@NeedAFuturePlan Will you need a coat? Or is it all inside? It’s a summer dress in my view but ok for non church wedding.

There’s an amazing dark green organza one from Jaeger (M&S) that’s perfect for an autumn wedding. Take a look.

I like the Nobody's Child in green the best. What is the venue? You can get married virtually anywhere in Scotland.

Definitely the green ruffle dress. Looks nice and dressed up. I'd go for that one.
